I'm way out of touch with the entire...state of Empires (not from a lack of stalking the forums, mind you). The game itself has a few 20+ rounds in the middle of the day but falters late at night unless a lot of people spontaneously play. But specStax are at an all time low. Dies Aries (or whatever) and Cold Tarp (provided these two aren't the same) are both long gone, but wasn't Jephir working on an entirely different engine (UT3, IIRC)? Anyways, just wishing to get caught up.
We have to solve a critical crash bug in Empires before the next patch can be released. There will be more information about the UE3 project you mentioned when a release is ready.
Yea I was wondering that too. I was looking on the forum for Factions and I saw Space Oddity as a developer, and then I wondered "huh are they fucking mad, I would be surprised if that guy could wipe his own ass properly then do anything constructive for a game or project". Then I thought I would ask you what the status was of the project. edit: I actually am somewhat excited to see a new game come out of this, because I have a map idea that I have been working on, that I can't do in the current Empires.
Is the story gonna be a continuation of the Brenodi and Northern Faction conflict, or something entirely new?
yeah i know a hot girl who goes out with a guy who looks like a ratty corey feldman gives you all hope
It's to flasche and ViroMan's questions. We have to thank Ellie Goulding for spawning the great Starry Eyed remixes. At the moment it's too early to give more info about Factions. The gameplay design is still going through interations and testing. Once things get more stable there will be more info about the project.
It would be great if it were exactly the same so we don't need to think of new things to complain about!
No, no, no. Let's have Space-Cubans vs. Putin-People. Cubans have 50's styled stuff, Putins have Ladas and NF-ish crap. While Cubans have Cigars and mustaches (see ava), Putins have hairy shoulders and armpits.
